Single Molecule Toroics: Synthetic Strategies, Theory and Applications

by Keith Murray (Editor)

Overview

This book consists of chapters written by international experts on various aspects of single molecule toroics (SMTs).The chapters cover a broad range of relevant topics and highlight the latest advances performed in the field. An up-to-date overview of the emerging SMT architectures is presented while particular attention is given to not only the magnetism and relaxation effects involved but also to the respective applications in advanced electronics and memory devices. The role that lanthanides play -especially that of dysprosium- is discussed, while a thorough analysis using theoretical/ab initio calculations is provided. Since SMTs have grown out of single molecule magnetism (SMM), it is an expanding and topical subject and the present book will engender excitement and interest amongst chemists, physicists, theoreticians and materials scientists. The volume will be of great interest to researchers and graduates working on this topic and particularly those involved in lanthanide chemistry, magnetism and theory.

About the Author

Keith Murray gained his PhD at the University of Manchester, in 1966, under David Machin’s supervision. He joined Monash University in Clayton, Australia as a Senior Teaching Fellow, his research dealing with the syntheses, spectral and magnetic properties of transition metal complexes. His whole academic career has been at Monash University, climbing the ranks to a full Professorship. Presently he is Emeritus Professor of Chemistry. In recent years his research has focussed on molecular magnetic materials such as single molecule magnets and single molecule toroics. The latter topic, involving mixed d-f-block compounds, formed the basis of his Olivier Kahn Memorial Lecture to the International Conference on Molecule Based Magnets, Manchester, 2020.
